The Comets have met Eaton six times over all and have tangled with them the last three years straight in the sectional tournament. In sectional play Amherst won in 1948 and 1949 and last year lost to Eaton 46-45, thereby losing the chance to go to Kent. , Amherst has no record against Brunswick, one of this year's winners from the Medina county tourney.
